changed control hard nobody ohio played playing pressure state tempo throw trouble
We thought if we get control of the game, Ohio State would have trouble playing from behind, but they played very well from behind. Nobody ever would have thought they would throw for that kind of yardage, but they changed the tempo of the game, they made it very hard for us to pressure the quarterback.

We've worked hard on it, but the key to the Nebraska defense is up-front four. That'll be a real test for us.

We don't make any excuses and never will, but we've been a very unlucky football team from an injury standpoint.

We've been giving the ball back too many times. We haven't been productive.

We'd like to tackle the quarterback, ... Traditionally here, we've taken great pride in the way we played defense. Like every other program in the country, the spread offense creates problems. I've said this because when you use the quarterback, really in many instances like a tailback, and yet you have four wide receivers and you spread the defense out, you're going to give up some yardage, you're going to give up some points. I think that's fundamental.
biggest react resolute season test turn
We'll see how we react Saturday. That's always the biggest test how you respond. Everybody's disappointed but resolute in doing what we have to do to turn the season around.

We are never really certain what kind of intensity the team is going to come out with, (but) I am very pleased with the intensity and the fact we got a lot of guys some experience. I think when you look at the big picture, we got a lot of things done today.

We had some great drives, but we stopped ourselves every time.
We're just not where we need to be,
